simple pleasures

it's one of my favorite things of summer...the way this tree in my front yarddances with the breeze and the early evening suncreating continually altered shadow and illumination,via spacious windows,onto the walls and furniture of my living space...even onto my face if i'm sitting in just the right place.it's the coziest place to be from late spring through mid fall.

i love it so much,i like to make sure i'm right thereat just the right timeas many early evenings as possible...to sit in silence,to catch the glow and the danceand to drink it inas long as those leaves last.

we make a fine team,the sun, this tree, my window and me.

{{after my bird mobile moving picture, i wanted to play some more with these... only this time, keep the camera steady and in the same place for each photo. while sitting on my couch and watching the shadows and light move all around my living room walls, i thought this would be the perfect subject to try it out on. next time, i'll capture the shadows, instead of the tree itself.

it's really wonderful to sit on the couch and watch the leaves blow around... each one catching the glow of the sun at one time or another. it's just so warm and inviting, pretty and peaceful... so simple, but so calming and fulfilling. i find it's the little things in life that make it lived. don't you?}}

{{i'm starting a new little series called "simple pleasures"... to start noticing and celebrating the simple things in my life that bring me joy. i like to think i notice and blog about them already... but now they'll be part of series. this was my first installment.}}

Don't you just love the trees blowing in the breeze and playing with the light?! We live on a greenbelt and have just a mass of huge maple trees that make the most lovely sound in the wind. Love it. One of my favorite, calming sounds. Lovely to watch as well. :)
